Small tree for id from Llyods Botanical Garden, Darjeeling:: NS Sept 06 : 6 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (4). This medium sized tree was found near orchidarium of Llyods Botanical garden in Darjeeling, I searched for the placard, but in vain..is this a Euonymus sp. ?? Euonymus species.... similar to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Euonymus_europaeus ? Missed the genus you have already identified, Sir! This may help - http://luirig.altervista.org/photos-search/index.php?title=Euonymus+europaeus Euonymus- species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available) I think it is Euonymus carnosus. It is very similar to E. grandiflorus but the leaves of grandiflorus are narrower, and the flowers are 17-22 mm diam. (In carnosus it is 10 to 12 mm diam.). Does the flowers fit? Thank you very much for the correct id. |
